Harvey Jones, South Africa's leading Microsoft-centric business intelligence specialist, is set to announce NovaView 6.0, the next-generation proactive business intelligence (BI) suite from Canada's Panorama Software.
A tightly integrated suite of Web-enabled BI applications, NovaView 6.0 offers a new user interface, new deployment wizards, a more robust platform and new applications. NovaView 6.0 maintains its tradition of being a tightly integrated suite that combines the best of query and analysis, formatted reporting, performance dashboards, KPI scorecards, modelling, advanced visualisation and automated report distribution.
The special addition to the 6.0 version is the inclusion of the highly popular Flash Analytical user client application that was first introduced with Google Apps, and is now made available inside the NovaView suite on-premise. The Flash Analytics product is among the most popular analytical tools available today.
“In NovaView 6.0, we are introducing new products in the suite,” says Eynav Azarya, Panorama Software CEO. “The most exciting ones are the new Relational Data Connector, which lets users analyse and interact with relational data just as if it was modelled and stored in a cube; and NovaView Flash Analytics, which is based on the analytics application that we released for Google Apps in our SaaS solution, and is already used by over 100 000 users today. We are proud to make this innovative client available to our NovaView customers on-premise and know this will help them extend the reach of BI inside the organisation.”
“NovaView is different from other BI tools by providing different types of users the most suitable and relevant application,” says Oudi Antebi, VP Marketing and Strategy, Panorama Software. “We believe different users need different ways to access and analyse data. For power users and analysts, NovaView offers the most feature-rich and capable analysis and query solutions available. For information workers we provide our newly designed flash application and our latest NovaView Spotlight product that brings key metrics right into Microsoft Outlook.”
NovaView 6.0 also includes new ways to collaborate with partners and suppliers that don't have access to the data inside the firewall through a new product called NovaView SharedViews.
"Panorama is one of the most credible BI companies in the market," says Keith Jones, MD of Harvey Jones. "In 1996, it sold its online analytical processing technology to Microsoft, and it was re-branded as SQL Server Analysis Services and integrated into the SQL Server platform.
"We launched Panorama into the local market at the beginning of this year and have enjoyed a great deal of interest. We expect NovaView 6.0 to accelerate adoption of the application, which fills a major gap in the market."
NovaView amplifies the impact of the information worker through a tightly integrated and complete suite of on-premise analysis, reporting, scorecard, dashboard and data modelling applications that support the two leading data platforms, SAP and Microsoft. Panorama's solution for Google applications empowers individuals and enterprises with the most intuitive and accessible SaaS-based BI solutions.
